Allgäu Emmental (or Allgäuer Emmentaler) is also referred to as Bavarian Swiss Cheese. One of the most famous German cheeses, it is not originally from Allgäu, but from the region of Emmental located in the Swiss canton of Bern, where it was crafted since the 1700's. In 1821, the "Swiss method" was brought to the Allgäu for the first time by Josef Aurel Stadler.

Made from pure Bavarian milk, it is high in protein with a refined flavor. Our Bavarian Swiss has a rich, yellow color and large eyes. We recommend it sliced for sandwiches, cut in strips for Chef salads, or chunked for party platters.

This is a decent cheese, but I think it is not aged long enough. The texture is a touch too creamy, and the flavor not nutty enough to be an excellent Allgäuer Emmenthaler. This makes it almost unusable in salads with vinegar based dressings, but ok on a cheese plate, and in sandwiches.

I Love Good Swiss Cheese

I really like the Emmental Swiss cheese style There are so many grocery store "so called" Swiss cheeses but they are not even in the ballpark.
I did not give a 5 rating only because I have had others with slightly more flavor.
Very good cheese. Would definitely buy again and actually have multiple times.

By far my favorite anytime cheese!

I first received this cheese in the "Four Snacking Cheeses for Everyone" pack. Which is also a good variety for mild cheeses. I love all types of cheeses but my family only like mild types. Everyone in my family loves this cheese and we go through a pound way too quickly! Great on a cheese plate, sandwiches, or a chunk all by itself. Can't get enough.
